Women Lawyers Mentorship

Match with an experienced woman lawyer for personalized guidance and support.

Two professional women in discussion while sitting at a table.

The WLF Mentorship Program facilitates mentoring relationships for women in the legal profession and is a significant way for women lawyers to support other women continuing and flourishing in the practice of law.

The Women Lawyers Forum believes that one of the best ways to support women in the practice of law and ensure their continued and successful participation in the legal profession is through mentoring.

We recognize that many women do not get the opportunity to be mentored during their professional career because:

  • They live in smaller communities where senior lawyers are not available or they prefer someone outside of their immediate community.
  • There is no one in their workplace available to mentor or they would prefer to be mentored by someone who does not work with them.
  • Although there are male mentors available, they prefer to be mentored by another woman, who can identify with the unique challenges that women lawyers face in practicing law.

Join a great group of supportive and interesting women who are giving back to our profession.

Mentee applications are now closed for the 2025/2026 year. Please contact mentorship@cbabc.org with any questions.
